Drift Battle - Shannonville Saturday Evening July 31st

Fabi track with the other guys, we’ll go there i want everyone to be there its cheap its good is awsome. I Have no car im cool with eveyrone here and i know what a good drift looks like so i’m going to be judging and setup my own little silly drift battle to make up for the driftnation one. Guys it wont be as serious but it’ll be fun we’ll have a good time and get some nice sliding going on.

Basically we’ll pick 2 corners on fabi and it will be top 16, broken down to top 8, to top 4, then there will be a battle between drivers if you’re too pussy to slide near someone then you are disqualitfied! heheeh! Ok we can revise that to no drift battle if you want… and just “drift time trial” as you could call it, down to the final person.

I charge nothing to seting up my little ghetto drift battle other than some of you have to let me drive your cars :smiley: ahh common i wont break them i promise!

No but seriously Guys listen up.

This is how its going to be:

5.30 Everyone be there, we’ll setup in a corner and i’ll take registration for the drift battle (leave your name if you’re going to run in this thread)

6.00 Go out for practice runs and get used to the course, i’ll ride with and give advice if wanted, i’ll try your car if you think that will help you (in all seriousness i’ve had people do this for me before at the track its a great help just to watch what needs to be done from 3rd person, not saying im better than you or anything like that, just a good way to see and feel without having to concentrate on car control

7.00 Battle starts - The battle will be on Corner 1 this is the first corner after the straight you need to enter at about 95km/h - 115km/h depending on tire grip, the main things i’ll be looking for are entry speed and position, i’ll take into account the tires yo uare using but NOT power yo uDO NOT NEED power at these speeds, clipping point and exit point and line. I’m thinking about using the double apex corner as well as that really tests your skill however there is no place for me to sit and watch the drifts, maybe if there is a tie we’ll do it as a shakedown so practice that corner as well.

8.00-8.30 battle ends, cool we had fun and now you know what you need to do to improve the little time we have left before sunset you guys can practice more and improve.

Track driving improves your skill at what i would estimate to be 15times greater than what you can learn on the street, 5times greater than what you can learn in a parking lot. So even though its only 4 hours that will be like 3-4weeks of street practice depending how much you practice or like 2 auto-x days. You learn awsome car control at high speed and you gain confidence.

So if you want to have some fun and make up for the driftnation dissapointment lets do it im sure the guys will love watching this too!

This is 100% unofficial though its just for FUN. Just leave ur name here if you want to be part of it.

Also, not to barge in on battle endless’ event i was told that drifting there was no problem so i figure if you guys will be drifting ANYWAYS we may as well organize it and help it go smoother with less danger and make a little competition out of it at the same time it will be nothing major and remember that its a lapping event so we have to stay out of the grippers ways 100%!!

Registration for something at another person’s event? You’ve gotta be kidding… You don’t think we at BattleEndless don’t read other forums? :roll:

First thing we do not want to see any registrations of competitions of any sort on the track as this is an Open Lapping day and not an event for you to showcase your drifting techniques. If you had discussed with us first to see if we would ALLOW you to host your little drift battle that would be different but to do it behind our backs ?

Second thing we DO allow drifting and for the most part the drifters that have participated at our events keep it clean and give ample space between themselves and the drivers in front/behind and have been able to keep it clean and hasn’t been an issue with other drivers.

The way I read your post could make it dangerous for the participants of our events and if we see this kind of action on the track day we can and will black flag and leave you sitting in the pitlane for the rest of the event if we find drivers we deem to be unsafe.

Sorry dude, i think you’ve taken it the wrong way.

I dont really know the best way to explain it, first of all i want you to know that i didnt mean to barge in on your event by any means, however i know how that sounds, the reason the post is typed that way is to get peoples attensino to bring them to your event! Sorry i didnt tlak to you first the idea came to me at 2am when i was still slightly drunk :stuck_out_tongue:

Basically, i was supposed to borrow my friends car. But his car is all messed up, so i figured if people are going to drift anyways, we may as well make a fun LITTLE competition about it. I was thinking like, while people are doing their laps, they just drift that corner, then come into the pits after 2 or 3 laps, i dont think this would get in the way… Now you can look at it as being more dangerous, since there is a bit of competition in the air, but its just like someone coming to lapping day with a stopwatch competing with the other guy trying to beat his times, except with drifting.

Like i said before i wnat you to know that iwans’t trying to organize any sort of event during your event, but mostly just get all my buddies out here to the drift event most which are coming anyways and have a fun little competition - why? because we were all expecting a drift competition anyways and people are just pissed.

So i’m sorry you took it like we were trying to invade your lapping day and everything i just assumed from what i had read that you guys LOVED drifting and thought you’d actually find this fun yes i should have talked to you first but as i said it was 2am and i have no way to conatct you other than PM. So i hope you wont take offecne and there are no hard feelings man.

Me pavel and bob are comming.
